It was July hot in Georgia in 1942 [A] All the men were off to war and the women had [E] nothing to do
taste of love
[E] close I was
and she smelled like sweet perfume
down she said you don't have to [E] leave so soon
sure gets lonely when a man's gone off to fight
for my trembling head and teardrops [E] filled her eyes
[B] Then she [E] said war is hell on the home front [A] too
taste of love
[E] close I was
and she smelled like sweet perfume
down she said you don't have to [E] leave so soon
sure gets lonely when a man's gone off to fight
for my trembling head and teardrops [E] filled her eyes
[B] Then she [E] said war is hell on the home front [A] too

It was July hot in Georgia in 1942 [A] All the men were off to war and the women had [E] nothing to do
_ I was sixteen and hungry looking for my first taste of love
[B] When I brought the groceries to her door I don't know how [E] close I was
Her _ long blonde hair was flowing and she smelled like sweet perfume
[A] When I laid the groceries down she said you don't have to [E] leave so soon
A woman sure gets lonely when a man's gone off to fight
[B] She reached out for my trembling head and teardrops [E] filled her eyes
[B] Then she _ _ [E] said war is hell on the home front [A] too
God only knows what a woman goes [B] through
She still needs what a man that's [E] gone can't do
I can't fight this fire [A] alone, stay with me until it's [B] gone
Ooh, war is hell on the [E] home front too
_ _ [F] _ _ _
It was July hot inside me as she [C] led me to her bedroom door
[Bb] We sat in sheets and pleasures I never knew I could [F] feel before
_ _ My first taste of loving was everything it should have been
[C] But when a woman's fighting loneliness it's a battle [F] she can't win
_ _ I'll always remember what she did and what she said
[C] But the one thing I remember most is the way she turned his picture over
Face down on the table [F] by her bed
And [C] how she said _ _
[F] war is hell on the home front [Bb] too
God only knows what a woman goes [C] through
She still needs what a man that's [F] gone can't do _ _
